Market Dynamics
The domestic metal industry in the U.S., which suffered from dumping of low cost products in the country, is expected to strengthen its position over the coming years. Lime is used to eliminate impurities during metallurgical operations such as in the manufacturing process of ferrous (iron and steel) and non-ferrous (alumina & bauxite, magnesium, copper, zinc, lead, etc.) metals. These metals are a backbone in various end-use sectors of the country including construction, automobiles, electronics, etc. Due to developments in the metal industry, lime is anticipated to experience significant growth in its demand and the market is forecast to register healthy growth over the coming years. Another key driver affecting the demand of lime in the U.S. market is its increasing use for producing precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC). PCC, due to its high calcium content, is progressively being used in the manufacture of paints, paper, plastic, rubber, calcium-based antacid tablets and liquids, multi-vitamin/ mineral tablets, etc. The growing use of PCC, specifically in the healthcare, polymer, and paper industries, is expected to drive demand for lime over the forecast period in the country.
Growing prominence of lime alternatives such as limestone, calcined gypsum, magnesium hydroxide etc. are anticipated to pose challenges to its market growth in the country. Besides, less storage time is another challenge faced by market players in the country. Lime, when stored for more than six months, changes its physical and chemical characteristics due to absorption of carbon dioxide and moisture, and the product becomes unsuitable for use.
